Rent a car with SIXT
Our Auckland office is open every day of the week, including weekends and bank holidays, from 7am until 8pm. For its precise location, please click on the map tab. We are pleased to offer customers a wide choice of stylish rental cars, catering for individual needs. All our vehicles are available for daily, weekly or monthly rentals. Our online price comparison service makes browsing the various quotes simple and easy to understand. Once you've chosen a spacious 4x4, such as a Range Rover, a comfortable family car, such as a Toyota Yaris, or perhaps a sporty soft top, booking is just as straightforward. We offer a choice of a reservations line or our website. Whichever method you choose, you can select your hire period in hourly or half-hourly increments. Although we cannot confirm the precise model of vehicle until you arrive to collect it, you can be sure of receiving one from the class that you booked. However, for added certainty, there's the option of using our smartphone app to select a specific vehicle 30 minutes before pick-up.
